There is nothing about hunting in the 2nd Amendment. So where is the tie in? The 2nd Amendment does not state the right to keep and bear arms has anything to do with hunting.

Trying to tie in the hunting privilige with the RKBA right is the left’s way of tying the caliber of firearms with the size of the game. Restricting firearms eg- “assult rifles” that do not meet their narrow minded definition of hunting necessity is the intent. That would redefine the 2nd Amendment to have limits, which is no way restricted by the current document.

Looks like there are (at least) three issues here:

1. Romney got caught in an exaggeration. Stretching the truth. Another little fib.

2. The best evidence Romney could provide that he supported the constitutional right to bear arms was: "I purchased a gun when I was a young man. I've been a hunter pretty much all my life. I've never really shot anything terribly big. I used to hunt rabbits." So.... he doesn't understand what RKBA is.

3. Romney has an actual anti-gun record.
